Man Utd Already Lining Up Next Major Signing After Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United's pursuit of winger Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford signals a potential boost for their attacking lineup. With a focus on acquiring a striker after Mbeumo's signing, punters might consider betting on Manchester United to improve their goal-scoring record next season, especially given their recent struggles.

Manchester United intend to recruit a striker once they finalise the signing of Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst has revealed.

The Red Devils are planning significant changes to Ruben Amorim’s attacking options and are aiming to bring in at least three new faces in total. Having already confirmed Matheus Cunha as their first summer arrival, United are continuing to work on a deal for Mbeumo, with club-to-club talks ongoing over the Cameroonian’s move.

Mbeumo is believed to have given the green light to a move to Old Trafford, despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, who appointed his former coach Thomas Frank last week.

Man United Aiming for Striker Signing

According to Luckhurst, United’s pursuit of a new number nine was delayed after their ‘prime target’ Liam Delap opted to join Chelsea in a £30m deal. The Red Devils have now returned to the drawing board to assess the remaining options on the market, with Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike all emerging as potential targets.

United endured their worst goalscoring season in 35 years, netting just 44 goals in 38 Premier League matches, and finishing 15th in the table. There is hope that potential outgoings in attack could help fund a move for a new striker, with Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony all available for transfer.

Key Statistic: Mbeumo scored 20 goals and provided eight assists in 38 Premier League appearances last season.

Man United remain confident of sealing a summer move for Mbeumo, despite Tottenham making a late push for the 25-year-old winger. Spurs are believed to have made contact with Brentford to explore a potential move, which could be worth around £70m.
